Bad Ass is a fictional village in the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett, in which it is the home of Granny Weatherwax. It can be found in Lancre.
The valley occupied by Bad Ass overlooks a panorama of lesser mountains and foothills. From there, you can see to the edge of the world. In the long winter snows, the roads out of the village are lined with boards to reduce drifting and to stop travellers from straying.
A narrow bridge over a stream leads to the village smithy, birthplace of Eskarina Smith.
The name stems from the fact that Bad Ass was originally founded when a donkey, carrying the supplies of a group of settlers, stopped on a ford and refused to move. As such, they had no choice but to build their town there. Hence the name; "Bad Ass".
